sM.A.C tHat FouNdaTioN oN!!!

From WHITE     To DARK

M.A.C - Hello my new fav foundation! Match Master with SPF 15 by M.A.C . . THE BEST! my face looks FLAWLESS, and let me tell you I have Tons of flaws! It has a base color then it matches to your skin. HMM how does it do it you ask? MAGIC DUH!! 


NOOO Actually its New Foundation technology using translucent pigments to enable a fully personalized finish influenced by the subtleties of your own skin's undertone. Moisturizing demi-matte finish. Medium build-able coverage. Line-reducing soft-focus powders.


GET IT!! ITS AMAZING!!!!! 

The only thing I DONT recommend with this product is using a primer. The formulation works on direct skin contact. Today I tried it with a primer, and it came out a little caky and it didn't "absorb" into the skin as well. I didn't have time to redo it so I had to settle .. DONT worry y'all I still like FAB!!! 

Well Thats all I have for this one. 

Write to you next time.
'Till then, put some make up on, it will make you feel prettier then you already are & you will have a better day. :)

XOXO

LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics

So I was walking around the Dubai Mall when I see this store "LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics" I'm thinking ok cool, I love cosmetics. So I decided to check it out.

I walk in and was instantly greeted with 2 smiling faces. Taking me 1st over to the lotion station, the lotion she rubbed in my hand (which felt AMAZING, LOL) I loved. It was "sympathy for the skin" for dry skin.

It is:

Fresh, organic bananas:

They are emollient and highly moisturizing, when applied topically. They soften the skin, making it flexible and pliable.

Vanilla pod infusion:

Vanilla pods are made up of sugars, vanillin, fats and mineral salts. The sugars in vanilla act as humectants (moisture binding), when applied topically, and are particularly suitable for retaining moisture on hair, skin and lips.

Then she took me over to the wash station where she washed my hand with some "Ocean Salt Cleanser" O'EM'GEE my hand was sooo frikin soft!!! 

It is:

Lime extracted in vodka and sea salt

The antibacterial effects of lime and the trace of alcohol in the product is ideal for blocked pores, blackheads or blemishes. The minerals in sea salt soften as the salt scrubs away dirt and blockages, 

I went over the whole store looking at everything. I ended up leaving with a long list. The below are a few more things I purchased:

"Buffy Body Butter"

Ground rice

We add ground rice to Buffy as an exfoliant; the slight roughness of the ground rice sloughs away surface dry skin cells to reveal a brighter, fresher looking skin. In a shaving product, it also raises the beard prior to shaving.

Shea butter

Shea butter is moisturizing, emollient and softening on skin and it's so gentle that it has been traditionally used in Africa for baby massage.



"Black Stockings"

Sun Kissed and Spicy

Spicy pimento berry oil and cinnamon give Black Stockings its warm, deep fragrance. The fragrance was created by Shakira from our UK team, and we think it smells like a warm Caribbean beach. Rub Black Stockings over your legs to give them a gorgeous, sun kissed glow.

When Silk Won't Do, Try a Pair of Black Stockings...

Helen created another version of Silk Stockings for those with darker complexions. Black Stockings balances out skin tone and gives a stunningly realistic tan with its coppery pigment and hints of shimmer. Have a paler skin tone? Don't fret! You can use this sexy Caribbean-inspired number too.

Pimento Berry Oil

Pimento berries are full of fragrant oil that is distilled from the dry, unripe fruit. The oil is spicy and warming

Cinnamon Leaf Oil

Cinnamon is very warming on the skin and is known to increase blood circulation.

 Okay those are the few that I am going to post pics of. . Everything else check out on www.Lush.com.  I love that they are all 100% natural. . They are very much into recycling. If you bring in I think its 6 empty pots you get a body bar free. They also ask for your extra bags. A cute touch is, they put stickers of cartoon drawings of the people that make each product. 

I VERY MUCH RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!! when I have more time I will post All of the stuff I got.

I hope that you love these products as much as I do. 

I am going to go to bed. I will be back with more posts.

'Till then, Recycle, Reduce and Reuse!!

I Love your FACE?!?!

Omer posing with "Billy's" Sushi ;)

Look at their fancy Chop stick rest

See its me, and an Edemame :)
Omer Eating Tempura Soft Shell Crab
So there I am sitting at my table with Omer and of COURSE waiting on. . (for the sake of this persons identity his name has been changed to Billy) Billy at this nice restaurant/bar/Club called Zuma, in Dubai. Nice atmosphere, music, low lighting the works. The waitress comes over, kneels down to my level and says "I ........" she what? "what was that you said" I had to ask her cause I was on my 2nd cosmo and it had been a while since I had last drank that much so I didn't quite get it . . "I love your face" . . LOL!! she said "I LOVE YOUR FACE."? EXACTLY what I thought she said, GOOD so I wasn't drunk after all. . . LOL. . WHOOO says such a thing .  . I wanted to bust out laughing!!! but that would have been rude! sooo, I nicely said "thank you" and went STRAIGHT into ordering everyones dinner. (yes I ordered for everyone).

HMM not sure why I made this face
For a starter I got edemames, and Tempura soft shell crab for Omer. For dinner I got the Yakatori, which was SMALL, seemed like 1/2 a chicken breast cut into small pieces then put on a skewer. I also ordered Shrimp Tempura California rolls. They were ok, the seaweed seemed not so fresh it was a little tough/chewy.  I didn't get to many pics because my battery for my phone was so low, and I didn't have my camera, HI I always have my camera, and I been taking it out so I can go on base ( I will blog about that soon) always the flash wouldn't work. So the few I do have you get to see on here. 

For Omer I ordered Teriaky Salmon, it looked delicious. And yes he confirmed that it was :)  . . For Billy I ordered a variety of sushi and the lemon herb with mushroom sauce Sea Bass. Trying to help my friend stay healthy. :)

Of course I ordered Bowels of rice and Miso Soup to start. Nothing like the salad from the Japanese restaurant in Felton ( the name is on the Tip of my tongue, help me out someone).
Omer Posing with the VOSS

This place was nice. . . . . Matter of fact it was SO fancy they served VOSS (said in my BEST deep russian sounding voice) water. Which by the way, they also served in the business class of Oman Airways. ;) Yes ma'am and sir I HAVE been in business class. Jealous much? HAHA don't be. . I work hard for my money :) 



Well I was now on my 3rd Cosmo feeling nice, and ready for a nice night out on the town.

That story is going to be on ANOTHER post.


SOOOOOO. . . . . . . . . . TO BE CONTINUED !!




'Till then, stay healthy, have some VOSS and Edemames. (HEY!! YOU GO BACK AND READ THAT WORD "VOSS" CORRECTLY RUSSIAN SOUNDING VOICE!)
